I
think I already mentioned this, but I just wanted to say a few more
words on our disc golf adventures. We went to two courses down around
Concord and they were both nice, one more than the other. The Deven
course still kind of blows my mind not only in size, but in terms of
how nicely it was made. They went to great lengths to groom the
course and make every aspect really nice. Plus, it had 36 holes,
which is pretty amazing when you get down to it. The course cut
through the forest and hills, so it took a lot of effort. Each tee
had a platform and hole description, and the paths were clearly
marked. Even though we were in the forest, finding the discs was not
a problem, not like at the course near us, where we constantly lose
discs in the tall grass. And I mean constantly. The Deven course was
like going on a hike as well, because it was fairly rigorous
following the course up and down the hills. I can't say enough
(clearly) about how impressed I was with it.
The
Burlington (MA) course was much more low key, but again, it was
nicely done. The tee platforms were not as nicely done, but they did
have hole descriptions and this course went through the woods, as
well, though it was basically a city park, smack in the middle of the
suburbs. For a city park, they sure had some big trees. I enjoyed the
course except for the traffic noise. The park did have a skate park,
however, so when we were done, N rode his bike and scooter for a bit.
The woman who I believe helps run the rec department there asked us
what we thought of the course and if we had any feedback, which I
thought was nice.
Since
the Burlington course was in the middle of civilization, we had
access to certain life necessities, like a place to get refreshments,
as well as a Bank of America, which is my bank. They are very hard to
find around us, and tend to be more prevalent in civilized areas.
Maybe it's time to find a new bank.
It
was a nice day of disc golf. We went back to the hotel for a swim,
which worked out beautifully because the sun was scorching by that
time. One of the few times I like it when it's hot.
Until
the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to Andrew Meglis for the pic.
